    LOL I agree you also need to add, they spend more on marketing to convince you that you need their drug to continue on with your life. ...depressed you need "get-a-life"... ok I think i need to stop drinking coffee now....

  3. Re:Why turn them off? on Wind Farms Can Interfere With Doppler Radar · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought. Windmills need wind, storms have higher wind ratings then a normal day. Doesn't make sense to me but then again I dont live there so Im not too sure. I think in the long run it looks like they might need to get some new systems out there for detecting bad weather around these wind farms they are not going away so we will just have to deal with them.

    Um if you have a valid TechNet sub or a MSDN sub you can get your hands on it now. So many places are testing it to see about a full release or a fix for their software. Stories like these are what I expect during this two month run until it becomes a box in the stores.

  7. Re:How does it compare to XP? on Windows 7 RTM Reviewed & Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    With that thought then 98 is 95 R2, in which Win2k is NT R3, Right? Look if you have a machine that works fine with XP then stay with it. If your buying or building a new machine go for 7. Since it can take more advantage of the hardware. Windows might make SP4 for XP so that it can do more, just don't count on it they have tried a few times to but an end line to XP and build on different software just like every software company does.

  8. Re:wake up folks need more nuclear power! on A Server Farm Powered By a Wind Farm · · Score: 1

    No the one mistake was they didn't build the extra containment building around the reactor like they should have, giving them the buffer zone so when the one failed it would still be contained like all the other plants build around the world at that time had, guess that was an over site and now give you the right to just kick nuclear to the curb due to that little item they don't teach people in school when they talk about it.

  9. Re:Umm... on A Server Farm Powered By a Wind Farm · · Score: 2, Informative

    The other problem with nuke plants is the ageing work force and buildings. The nuke plant close to where i live is having a very hard time hiring workers. Due to the fact that people are so scared of them due to our ever great TV and education system the teach people that nuke plants are evil. As for the education to work there its not that hard the first step is to at least pass college chemistry. Then they train you for 16 months before you even walk into the site. (Buddy of mine just passed all his training). All in all Im with you, Wind, solar, nuke, coal we need them all at some still need a lot of time to develop and grow before we see them being used every day.

    shoot we need an edit button.. Also with the current economic status 20 years of jobs doesn't sound bad to me not to mention the jobs after its built. Wind/solar quick fixes that will create only temp jobs, Nuclear equals jobs in a very long run.

    LOL, I never thought of that one since these are out of the city killing robins and such, You just gave me a new idea of helping cities out with this problem install some of these around a city area and on top of buildings to kill the pigeons then hire a clean up crew. The money saved from wind energy for the city will help pay the workers. hhmm now where can I find people that will be willing to pick up dead birds...damn no American will take that job looks like Mexico has that one nope still cant help out with this hard economy..

  16. Re:Good. on Pickens Calls Off Massive Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 1

    The amount of waste is a lot smaller than most would think. The plant where my dad works at has a 200 gallon pool where the waste is stored that what they have from 75 years of running the plant since you cant take that stuff off sight do to regulations its stored on site. So can someone point me to the place that makes thousands of gallons of waste a month like all of those "environmental videos" they make people watch in school?? Oh I also forgot to ask what about the amount of birds these get environmental wind farms kill? They are better bird killers than cats, I know this for a fact due to living close to a great wind farm.

    See I would think this was to now. Over a year and half ago I bought a Sony E-Reader due to the fact I thought the netbooks where a joke, now netbooks are well worth it. I have to stay with yog, buy a netbook/laptop, don't get me wrong I love my e-reader due to the fact I can run what I want on it and not have to follow Amazons rules. The Kindles price is not worth the paper it was created on.

    Its been said time and time again threw here. As a person that loved computers and gaming I was like you. I thought it would be great to work with what I loved for so long. So I went to school and got a degree in IT. I did trying the program and devolpement run but found out very fast it was LONG hours with ZERO rewards. So to make a long story very short don't make what you love to do your pay you begin thinking about how dull your life is. I have changed my job into something most would think dull as hell but its 9-5 weekends to my self, and great pay. Now as for the computer thing I have joined a moding comunity and code with them and beta test software and hardware on the side, keeping me happy with my hobby and paid in the real world. All in all, join an online group first and see where that goes before you pay big bucks for something you run from.

    Hell at times it feels like the first Nintendo DS was an experiment, its was named "Nintendo Developer System" and it didn't pack a ton of power and look how many different versions they have gone threw with it. Making it smaller and with more addons as they went on. Nintendo isnt aiming at the regular crowed of gamers here, they are going for something totally different with each console release.

  23. um on Does the Wii Provide A "Watered-Down" Game Experience? · · Score: 1

    I do believe that the Wii was created for casual gamers not hardcore. They wanted to get the part of the market that just wants to pick up the controller play for an hour or less then leave. Just look at the high selling titles besides Nintendo ones all are party type games. The game creators are just whining cause its not what they are use to, its too different for them to understand not everyone out there is a die hard gamer. I own a Wii, 360 and PC each one was created with a different idea and aimed at a different crowd.
